Organizing Waypoints into Categories

You can organize your waypoints into categories, which can help when managing and using your waypoints. For example, you can create a “Vacation” category that stores all of the waypoints you use for your upcoming vacation. When the vacation is over, you can delete all the waypoints in that category by pushing a few buttons. You can create up to 15 categories.

To create a waypoint category:

1.From any of the waypoint pages or the Points tab, press MENU to open the options menu.

2.Select Edit Categories, and press ENTER.

3. Use the ROCKER to highlight Add, and press ENTER.

4.Use the ROCKER to enter a name for the category.

5.Highlight Save, and press ENTER.

Now, when you create or edit a waypoint, you can select the category from the Category list on the Waypoint Page.

To delete a category:

1.With the Waypoint Categories window open, highlight the category to delete. Press MENU.

2.Select Delete Category, and press ENTER.
